Akshay Bhatia continues to lead the way.
RORY MCILROY IS fifth after his second round at the Valero Texas Open on the PGA Tour, but Akshay Bhatia continues to lead the way as he currently holds a five-shot advantage.
Bhatia matched his career-low PGA round with a 63 on Thursday and struggled to follow up well but stayed well ahead of the pack. “I just stayed patient and tried to play pretty smart golf,” McIlroy said. “Just trying to keep the ball in play off the tee, trying to give yourself some good looks.” “This is probably going to be the hardest day for me,” he said. “I struggled a lot off the tee and that’s not good out here, but I managed my way.”
